This book is FANTASTIC. It's by David Morrell and is about a man named Frank Balenger who sneaks into an abandoned building from the 20th century along with some "creepers" (people who routinely trespass on old, forgotten sites). The night turns deadly soon enough, what with three dangerous thieves and a homicidal psychopath inhabiting the building.
I thought this book was one of the best books ever written. The plot is well thought-out and intricate without being boringly complex. The various twists and turns leave you practically breathless. I thought Balenger was one of the most interesting characters I've ever read about and the plot itself was amazing. You're really drawn into the allure of a building that once commanded awe and admiration but has since crumbled away to a deteriorating shadow of its former grandeur.
The only part I didn't like was how they killed off Cora. I liked Cora and didn't think she deserved to die. But then again the book was more into reality than fairness, and in real life that's just how it is.
In conclusion, this book is a must-read. If it isn't adapted into a film soon, it will be a literary travesty.
